Dialogue

Upon unlocking this achievement (unlocks 2 hours after completing Raising Skyscales Collection Achievement)

Gorrik Don't be mad. Commander! Gorrik here. First, I just want to say how much I value our working relationship. We get a lot done, you and I, and I've always treasured that. I'm sure you have too, and I'd like you to keep that in mind as you move on to the next paragraph. The skyscale's gone. I was vaguely distracted by my research and looked away for the BRIEFEST moment and she's just...gone. Fortunately, I implanted a tracking device in her leg, but time is not on our side. Please return to Sun's Refuge so we can enact a plan. Respectfully yours, Gorrik P.S. Please don't tell Taimi.

Approaching Gorrik in Sun's refuge

Gorrik: Ah, you made it. Now—shall I profusely apologize, or shall we move right along to dealing with the matter at hand?

Talking to Gorrik

Gorrik: You made it. Now—shall I profusely apologize, or shall we move along to the matter at hand?

Don't worry about it. What's the move?

Simple. You can track her down by honing in on the device I implanted. And we can leverage the fledgling's greatest love—uproariously smelly food—to lure her to you.

Go on.

Find the ingredients for this Extra-Pungent Skyscale Treat recipe. The smell should lure your skyscale out of hiding.

Got it. (Unlocks Skyscale Lost collection)

I must be going.

Actually, yes. I'd love to see you profusely apologize.

I'm sure you would, but in the moments between my offering and your accepting, I managed to move past my grief. You should too.

Noted. So what now? (Same as above)

I must be going.

Not right now. There's something else I need to do.

Talking to Gorrik again after unlocking Skyscale Lost

What are you still doing here—our skyscale is lost!

Show me my progress. (Opens Skyscale Lost in achievement panel)

Can you give me that recipe again? (Puts Recipe: Extra-Pungent Skyscale Treat into player's inventory)

Nearing an area with a Skyscale (one of the following)

<Character Name>: Come on out!

<Character Name>: Where are you?

Approaching a Skyscale (one of the following)

<Character Name>: Ha! Found you!

<Character Name>: There you are!

Interacting with a Skyscale (one of the following)

<Character Name>: Get back here!

<Character name>: No, no, no, no—

Interacting with the last Skyscale

<Character Name>: Looks like she's heading back to Sun's Refuge. Finally.

Interacting with Skyscale Treat in Godslost Swamp

There are tracks here. It looks like there was a scuffle. Your skyscale may be captured, or worse.

Go on.

A shadow behemoth has been known to haunt this swamp. Maybe that creature is at fault?

Leave.

Leave.

Talking to Gorrik after Skyscale Lost step has been completed

Success! Our fledgling returned safely. Maybe if we further strengthen your bond with her, she won't fly the coop again.

How might I do that?

You're no stranger to training dragons. Taimi tells me you spent quite a bit of time with Aurene, playing games, teaching her to defend herself. Such guidance would greatly benefit our fledgling.

Understood. I'll see what I can do. (Unlocks Skyscale Stealth and Skyscale Reflexes)

Glad to hear that, but I must be going.

Interacting with Home Base

Give some time for your skyscale to hide.

Count really fast. (easy)

Count at a reasonable speed. (medium)

Count slowly. (hard)

Leave

Talking to Gorrik after Skyscale Stealth and Skyscale Reflexes steps has been completed

Ah, the twinkle in her eye. The spark of intelligence. You truly have a way with genus Draconis. Killing AND training.

Think she'll stay put this time?

I'd say so. But you can bet I'll be keeping TWO eyes on her from here on out.

Go on.

I'll be in touch if anything springs up, but for now, consider your job done. The skyscales will endure, thanks to you.

Thanks to us. This is your achievement, too.

I must be going.

Glad to hear that, but I must be going.
